For the sake of shortening future references to the epigraph at the top of this subsection, let the acronym “JOP” be taken as equivalent to the phrase “jug of punch”, and let the italicized tag ''“TJOP”'' be taken as tantamount to the title ''“The Jug of Punch”''.
For the sake of shortening future references to the epigraph at the top of this subsection, let the acronym “JOP” be taken as equivalent to the phrase “jug of punch”, and let the italicized tag ''“TJOP”'' be taken as tantamount to the title ''“The Jug of Punch”''.
There are features of this style of abbreviation that need to be noted. Instead of letting the acronym “JOP” denote the phrase “jug of punch”, and rather than letting the italicized acronym ''“TJOP”'' denote the title ''“The Jug of Punch”'', I am merely asking for the reader to take part in forming an augmented scheme of interpretation, one that adds new signs to a formerly established sign relation, but does it in a way that does nothing of serious consequence to its underlying semantic properties. This involves the construction of a ''semiotic partition'' (SEP), along with its corresponding ''semiotic equivalence relation'' (SER), in which the associated set of ''semiotic equivalence classes'' (SECs) serves to stake out a number of parts. In the present illustration there are two sets of synonyms, constellating a pair of mutually exclusive classes of signs that denote their respective objects in parallel, as in Table 17.

jug of punch {"jug of punch", "JOP"}
jug of punch {"jug of punch", "JOP"}
The Jug of Punch {"The Jug of Punch", "TJOP"}
The Jug of Punch {"The Jug of Punch", "TJOP"}
</pre>
In each case, the abbreviated form and its expansion are set to connote each other all within a single level of signs, while both signs are set to denote their common object in a parallel fashion. This strategy for annexing compressed references to a sign relation can be referred to as an ''acronymically connotative extension'' (ACE) of that sign relation.

Let J be a hypothetical sign relation that is adequate to interpret the The Jug of Punch. Table 18 gives a bit of J that is called for in order to accomplish this interpretation. Table 19 shows an ACE of this bit. Table 20 gives a bit of this ACE that suffices to get the gist of it.
